Winter Park to build a Denver bike park...Hopefully!!!
This is an excerpt from an article that was on the Denver Post website. I will try and find out more. The full article can be found at http://www.denverpost.com/ci_12986688The article includes more info about other bike parks in Colorado as well.
In Denver, Winter Park ski area operator Intrawest is developing plans to build a 4-acre downhill bike course at North Barnum Park, a sort of summer equivalent of the ski resort's winter activities at Denver's Ruby Hill park.
Intrawest's idea is to groom the next generation of riders who might someday visit Winter Park's expanding network of downhill and freeride trails, while a dilapidated Denver park gets an upgrade.
"This could be a well-structured spot for riders to develop their skills," said Bob Holme, manager of Winter Park's bike park, "and it's a chance to reach out to kids in the city and get them involved in the sport of cycling." - excerpt taken from the Denver Post
